I’m sure you would probably want something in your field, not taxation, right?

Well as soon as those folks at the government found out that I had resigned – so about 10 days, I have had 5 people – 5 honest to goodness people – call and email me asking for jobs. They want to work for me.

In the 10 plus years that I worked in the public service I witnessed only a few people leave to jump back into the private sector and not one comes to mind that was there as long as I was. The transition really was not that difficult – I studied how to manage in graduate school since I couldn’t get any hands on experience there. I really wanted to manage, they really didn’t want me to. I always thought I would be a great manager and I owe it to all the shitty managers I had in the government. They taught me how not to manage and my studies taught me how to manage.

Now I have 10 staff under me, and probably 3-5 more within the next few weeks, with a potential for 6 more by the end of June. I guess those brainiacs at the government were right afterall. Why would they want a competent manager working for or with them?!? It would throw off the mix…

I had the most interesting comment sent to me today, by someone who used to work at the CRA. She noticed on my blog, and on social media, that I “claimed” to have been a “Former CRA Employee of the Year” and she, having worked at the CRA, was not familiar with the award. She […]
